The Bone Clocks – David Mitchell

Six super chapters spanning six decades of Holly Sykes’ life, from Gravesend to Sheep’s Head via a Swiss ski resort, marriage and motherhood with a war zone reporter and a succession of encounters with various Atemporals, as the sporadic war between the Horologists and the Anchorites swirls around her.

Plus a cast of characters glimpsed to a greater or lesser extent in David Mitchell’s other novels. Smashing!
